Colusa native covers Taylor Swift tunes

The Woodland Opera House will present Kaylee Starr in “Swift Country — a Tribute to Taylor Swift” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5.

With striking similarities to Swift both physically and vocally, Starr is at home performing this tribute concert to the Grammy Award-winning country diva.

Starr will cover Swift’s top hits like “Love Story” and “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” in the show. Other memorable Swift songs to be performed include “Tim McGraw,” “Teardrops on My Guitar,” “White Horse” and “The Story of Us.”

A Colusa native, Kaylee Starr (Poppinga) has performed “Swift Country” at such venues as the Powerhouse Pub in Folsom; fairs in Imperial Valley, Contra Costa County and Gold Country; the Idaho State Fair; and Cache Creek, Black Oak and Harvey’s casinos.

Performing with Starr is the Swift Country Band — Jeff Poppinga, Kyle Poppinga, Carson Mitchell, Cole Martin and Casey Doss.
